I don't know, but I would doubt it.  I have a feeling that in my case it
works because I don't have any other PDC.

My iptables is part of IPCop firewall and is running on yet another Linux
machine dedicated to firewalling the network so I never did have iptables
running on the Samba server or any clients.  What I did change on the
IPCop machine though was to tweak some rules that I never before noticed
needed tweaking.  That's a side benefit, I suppose, of looking through
lots of things trying to get Samba to work.

But here's the relevant portion of those rules in case you're wondering
(this might wrap and look like crap):

/sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -p tcp -s ! 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 135 -j DROP
/sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -p udp -s ! 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 135 -j DROP
/sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -p tcp -s ! 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 137 -j DROP
/sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -p udp -s ! 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 137 -j DROP
/sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -p tcp -s ! 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 139 -j DROP
/sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -p udp -s ! 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 139 -j DROP
/sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -p tcp -s ! 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 445 -j DROP
/sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -p udp -s ! 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 445 -j
DROP
